Yes, it was written last autumn, but It's still open for new suggestions and ideas. I've got quite a lot of rough ideas for future topics, but new ideas and approaches are welcomed. But yes... stamp related literature, films etc might make fun, "lighter" topics. For example right now my kids are watching <a href="http://www.postmanpat.com/" rel="nofollow">Postman Pat</a> from the telly. It's a great entertainment for people of all age. I don't know if it's big thing in the US, but in Europe Pat has been a well known figure for several decades. As for Alan Bradley... I think the translated (Finnish) version might hit local bookstores this year. Usually best sellers take 6-18 months before they arrive Finland, but there are of course exceptions (like the latest Dan Brown and the Harry Potter's) Hi Carol,

The “What would you like to read” entry is pretty good spot to suggest future topics. Yes, it was written last autumn, but It’s still open for new suggestions and ideas. I’ve got quite a lot of rough ideas for future topics, but new ideas and approaches are welcomed.

"A monologue..." seems to be a rather obtuse heading, and I don't know where else to post my ideas. I would like to know about great stamp stories/literature that have been published as articles, short stories and novels. Things that aren't as academic as catalogs, auctions and how-to's. For example, have you read "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" by Alan Bradley? It's an award-winning mystery relating to philately. The heroine is an 11 year-old girl.

I am delighted that I don’t have ANY of the stamps in my collection, and I am enjoying researching the subjects. The photograph of Mauritius with the stamp showing the same mountain is quite a treasure and so is the Silver Jubilee cover. Thank you again for your generosity. Dear Keijo,
